My battery was brand new and strong so not sure if that helped in voltage stability.

Thanks! Ya it's my favorite color combo and beings it's still in excellent condition inside and out I just couldn't resist. The PPI came back great, no issues at all. Normal stuff like the fan belt and recommended the fluids being changed etc.

Congrats! That thing is gorgeous.

You're welcome. Treat your SMG like a manual and it'll be reliable. I always put my 6MT into neutral when I was stopped at red lights and I do the same with SMG. If I feel the SMG engaging the clutch a tad slow because of the setting then I'll make sure not to give it too much throttle until it engages. The computer probably doesn't know what burning out a clutch is.

I'm guessing a lot of SMG and/or clutch components are prematurely worn from drivers who haven't been in full tune to a manual transmission and how it works and how it sounds when it's being stressed.

We need to make sure we help it out as we, true manual drivers, know better than the computer's logic.

It's sure a fun partner to dance with when you lead well. She tried to kill me today (well maybe my right foot's fault) by accelerating faster than I could steer when a car suddenly came into my lane. LOL. It was easy to lift off oversteer with my setup to step the back out to clear the car's rear and then get back on throttle to stabilize. What a way to lose your lunch into your pants and leave them in the dust with ///M power. :eeps I'm still learning her everyday I go out for a rip and so will you!

Good advice Trevor Thanks. It makes sense to drive it like a Manual as you stated. The current owner told me he does the same. The only time its driven in Auto is when his wife drives it. I grew up driving Manuals so I should be able to get the hang of it pretty quick.
